		PT-119 - Horseshoe This horse shoe pipe tamper was made from a tamp crafted in merry olde England. It says "Good Luck" on a banner at the base of the shoe. You can hang this tamp from a leather thong or wear it on your belt. It is detailed on front and back. For centuries, the horseshoe has been used as a charm, in countries widely separated. It has also been popularly used as a talisman for the preservation of buildings or premises from the wiles of witches and fiends. According to one reputed story, Saint Dunstan, the Archbishop of Canterbury in AD 959, was a originally blacksmith by trade. He once nailed a horseshoe to the Devil's hoof when he was asked to reshoe the Devil's hoof. Dunstan only agreed to remove the shoe and release the Devil from pain after the Devil promised never to enter a place where a horseshoe is hung over the door. This tamper can keep you from evil and tamp your tobacco! It stands 1 and 3/4 inches tall.
